Rachel Brosnahans Bold Transition: From Mrs. Maisel to Lois Lane in the Highly Anticipated Superman Film
As the anticipation for the upcoming Superman film continues to build, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the highly anticipated movie, which is led by David Corenswet as the titular character and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. The early buzz and fan interest suggest that this could be one of the biggest movies of 2025, if not the biggest. While Corenswet, Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult have all expressed their excitement for the film, some former superhero actors have voiced their skepticism towards the genre. This is especially true for Brosnahan, who gained a cult following as the brassy, comedic, and gender-role-busting star of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Hardcore fans of that show may not appreciate her transition to an expected box-office mega-hit like Superman. However, Brosnahan is embracing her new superhero role and believes she was a natural fit for the part of Clark Kent's love interest. In an interview with fellow actress Amanda Seyfried for Interview Magazine, Brosnahan called out actors who complain about superhero roles. "I don’t know why people say yes only to then turn around and complain about it," she said. "Look, I don’t want to s--- on other actors, but there was a minute where it was cool to not like superhero movies and to look back on projects like this and pooh-pooh them. Do it or don’t do it, and then stand by it." Seyfried echoed this sentiment by adding that superhero movies are often about far more than just the hero. "I honestly don’t think you should call it a superhero movie ever again, because it isn’t just that, and I think people are going to see that," she replied. "It’s really important to have this kind of superhero, this guy who’s just trying to do his best." Brosnahan's role in the film is arguably the most central character outside of Superman himself, and while she's not technically wearing the supersuit, she's playing a crucial part in the story. The James Gunn-directed Superman will hit theaters on July 11, and it'll be interesting to see how strong the early box office numbers look. In conclusion, while some former superhero actors may have had mixed feelings about the genre, Rachel Brosnahan is embracing her new role as Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman film. The movie is set to be a box-office hit and will be an interesting testament to the power of superhero movies in 2025.
